Final week, I went to Paris with feminine buddies, and listed below are a number of photographs, if you happen to’d wish to see…
We felt so fortunate to have the ability to take a break from work/parenting/life and absorb the town. We took looooong walks round city, punctuated by coffees and tiny stunning eclairs.
We scored on our Airbnb, a stunning house within the eleventh arrondissement. You possibly can e-book a two-bedroom flat, a five-bedroom flat (which we did), or each collectively for a complete of seven bedrooms.
This balcony signal made me chortle. Famous!
Our favourite meal was at Mokonuts, a tiny lunch restaurant run by a husband-and-wife workforce, Moko Hirayama and Omar Koreitem, whose younger daughter occurred to be chomping on a leg of lamb after we arrived. (Moko defined that the faculties had been on strike.)
I imply!!!! The flavors exploded, and I particularly cherished the pillowy gnocchi with mussels.
We additionally fell onerous for the eleventh arrondissement, which felt neighborhoody but present, and was peppered with plenty of cool cafés, eating places, and retailers. In case you have an opportunity to remain there, undoubtedly do!
My honorary niece (left, my wedding ceremony flower lady!) and her two buddies joined us from England, bringing enjoyable giggly vibes and intel on faculty life nowadays. One night time, all of us performed a HILARIOUS recreation of Movie star (have you ever performed it?). The sport contains three rounds: 1) you need to use any phrases to explain the celebrities, 2) you need to use just one phrase, and three) you do charades. However we additionally added a fourth: 4) charades however below a throw blanket. Nonetheless makes me chortle simply fascinated about it.
Our crew! Feminine buddies make the world go ’spherical.
Lastly, I promised to report again on avenue fashion, and principally I used to be amazed by what number of head-to-toe black outfits we noticed. Assume: black scarf, black jacket, black shirt, black denims, black socks, black sneakers. Like, Sprockets however make it French?
After all, the magic was within the particulars, like gentle, drapey leather-based jackets…
…sheer tights with hearts or dots…
…chunky lug-sole boots or loafers…
…shiny purple nail polish…
…and all types of chunky and skinny scarves, typically even two layered collectively. (Parisians be Parisians.)
Thanks a lot for studying, and be happy to ask any questions! And thanks to Paris for such a magical time. We love you.
